MYA is teaming up with Slipping Gears and Black Bear Brewery for fat bikes and phat beers!

Our adventure will begin at Slipping Gears in Bangor where adventurers will pick up their bike for a sweet trail ride in Old Town. Please don’t forget your helmet. These fat bikes we’re enjoying for a couple hours are brand new and of course available for purchase if you fall in love. Beginners are welcome – this is your big chance to try out the fat bike of your dreams!

For a fabulous riding opportunity in the greater Bangor area, we’ll travel to the new Rick Swan Trail System at the Perch Pond Woodlot off the Kirkland Road in Old Town. Perch Pond (previously known as mud pond) offers up a beautiful site for a great biking workout. We’ll have an experienced rider on hand to help adventurers along the way.

Following our biking session we’ll get some fab yoga stretches in then head over to the Black Bear Brewery in Orono for a delicious pint of craft beer and yummy healthy and hearty vegetarian food courtesy of MYA.

I’m all for lounging around in pajamas the entire day watching old episodes of Dateline. But for an easy-going Sunday that you can still feel proud to talk about at work on Monday, there’s Downdogs at Dirigo.

This weekly event combines an hour of yoga with a glass of your favorite Dirigo Brewing Co. beer. (To be clear, you do the yoga first, then drink the beer. Not that beer-during-yoga wouldn’t also be lovely, but think of it most as a post-yoga reward.)

Meet Your Instructor:

Kat’s classes are based on a fun and intelligent flow while paying close attention to safe alignment.

Now, she aims to help yogis of all levels, from those who have never stepped on to a mat before and can’t touch their toes to those looking to advance their already well established practice, focus on feeling more balanced in their body, mind, and life.

Kat received her 200hr training in 2014 at Wellheart Yoga Maine under the guidance of Leslee Clark. She went on to receive an extended 50HR’s of training in Power Vinyasa at Corepower Yoga Boston and 100HR’s of training in Yoga Therapy at YogaWorks Boston under the guidance of Kate Graham. Most Recently, in 2017 Kat completed her 500HR vinyasa yoga training in India under the guidance of the diverse international teaching staff at Sampoorna Yoga.Off the mat, Kat holds a B.A. in Psychology from the University of Maine and works as a District Sales Manager in the nutritional field.

She is passionate about planning events for Be Well Portland, snuggling her Frenchie Winston, traveling, and searching for her next life adventure.

Join Midcoast Conservancy and Teens To Trails for the 1st (and maybe only) Midcoast Mudathlon on April 15 at Hidden Valley Nature Center in Jefferson. This fun-first event will include trail running and air rifle target shooting; all participants will receive a safety training on the rifles before they race. Members of Trail Monster Running will be on hand to participate and support new trail running enthusiasts.

Race categories will include family (parents and any number of kids), youth, high school, novice, intermediate and advanced. The trail loop is approximately three-quarters of a mile; racers will alternate shooting and running. Family and novice course will involve two shooting rounds and one trail loop; the rest will entail at least two running loops and two times at the target range. Be prepared for muddy, sloppy trails—but that’s part of the fun! Teams are an option, and creative costumes are encouraged; the best ones will receive awards at the post-race ceremony.

Spectators are welcome. After racing concludes, there will be vegetarian chili, hot chocolate and cider for participants and the cheering crowds. Midcoast Conservancy will have its fat tire bike fleet at the Nature Center as well, for anyone who would like to take one for a spin on the trails. Bring a helmet, or borrow one from the Midcoast Conservancy community hub gear collection.

Race fees are $25 for adults, $30 for families, $5 for youth and students. For questions about ages, race level or anything else, call Midcoast Conservancy at 389-5150.
